Greetings from Hawaii! Ok, so the picture at the top isn't actually anywhere near where i am, nor am i in American Samoa but i couldn't work out how to change it and just got annoyed. so I'm in my second destination in Hawaii. Last Sunday I flew from Sydney to Honolulu and then another flight onto Maui. My hotel was ok, a bit 'weathered' and the staff weren't that friendly, but it did the job, the ocean was on my doorstep and the weather was lovely, even though...
